Weeping Willows March 23, 2008

Spring has arrived! What a glorious time of year. Not only do I love to see all the blooms, I also love to see the “green” returning. Willows have a wispy way of reminding me of many joys.

We are In Delaware right now. It is cold and I look forward to going south via the Eastern Shore later today. Hoping to celebrate spring by going kite flying at one of our favorite VA state parks.

I have been listening to Robert Fulghum’s latest book in the car. It is called What on Earth Have I Done? This man is a Unitarian minister who lives in Seattle, Utah and Crete. His office is a houseboat. Generally, I would call him an observer/philosopher of life and all things amusing and mundane. I enjoy hearing him go on and on. ( sometimes) I loved his Kindergarten philosophy so many years ago. So, I am a follower. The rest of my family (traveling companions) voted not to listen to him on our drive to the beach yesterday. Oh well. (But they listened and laughed on the way home, while in a traffic jam near Williamsburg!) http://www.robertfulghum.com/
We watch CBS Sunday Morning many weekends. I love the nature meditation at the end. The stories are upbeat and interesting. Today they featured Peeps. There are now Peeps diorama contests and numerous websites featuring Peeps!  Have fun! ( And consider roasting them over a campfire too!)
